We need more natural gas plants. They can be turned on and off fairly easily (especially relative to Nukes), and they can be constructed pretty quickly.

Hydrogen is another option. It's cheap. No emissions. A fuel cell can be refueled as fast as you can fill up with gas.

This a good point. The advances in storage which is a direct result of wind and solar has outpaced ALL energy technology over the last 30 years or so...by a bunch. Storage systems are incredible efficient compared to just a few years ago. That technological advancement is not sexy so it is not as widely know, part of the reason it has advanced as it has, and will render the need for more "in demand" generation less critical going forward...but the time is not now. Getting closer - it is staggering how advanced it is from where it was in recent memory - but it ain't there yet.
